Capsicum spring flowers

Hi!

Not really spring yet. But the overwintered varieties are flowering!

Bode roxa
Beautiful flowers on this Capsicum chinense.

And another one.

Roumanian Gallo
Capsicum annuum are rare in my windows. But this one made me curious. Looks like it soon will have a pod coming. This one is from this season. Three months ago, we started the seeds. Already flowers.

Congo yellow

 

I like the shape of this one. Like a street light.

Habanero yellow
More chinense. With a little luck, I can have fresh habaneros for midsummer :-)

Wild Brasil
Very different variety. The flowers really come in clusters. Here you can see a tiny pod shaping.

Wishing you a great week!

Habanero time!

Hi!

Finally we have summer temperatures! The plants are loving it, and so am I.

Here is the red habanero, with some pods shifting in colour.

And here is the orange habanero. It is ahead of the red habanero with ripe pods. It's a very nice plant. This picture doesn't give it justice, and the pods are tiny. But taste fine :-)

I want to share another picture with you. It's a succulent that I started from seeds 10 years ago. The seeds are originally from my friend Allen, and I have forgotten the name. So if you can identify it, please tell me what it is.

In case you have missed it. Here is a link to my chile pepper database with lots of pictures => http://petterssononline.com/habanero/peppers.phphttp://petterssononline.com/habanero/peppers.php

Wishing you a great weekend!

Midsummer peppers

Hi!

Last evening of the Midsummer weekend. I went out on the balcony today, and checked the peppers, and it looks good.

Follow the links to see more pictures of the varieties.

This is the habanero red. It's almost ripe now. I can't wait to take a bite in this one :-)

And there are a bunch of promising flowers. I hope they will set fruit!

This is the habanero orange. There is a tiny pod also, but it looks a little weird. This plant has been out in the strong winds and fairly cold nights, so we will see how it goes.

The fidalgo roxa is a beauty. Look at these flowers!

And pods.

It reminds me of a variety that I grew some years ago. The Peru Scarlet Lantern.

The cheiro roxa is another beauty.

The name does not say it all. CGN 21500, looks like an "ordinary" chinense so far. Stay tuned.

The Trepadeiro Werner is another new acquaintance. It's a Capsicum baccatum, and grows and grows and grows. It's very easily broken, and reminds me of a Cumari that I grew maybe 15 years ago.

Nice small pods.

So, all the peppers are outdoors now. That's definitely worth celebrating. And, I can't wait for the first samples of them :-)

Wishing you all a great week!
